This is a guide to Preparing for Your Anniversary. With that know that there are 3 essentials:

1. A card, flowers and gift are all strongly recommended.
2. Planning is necessary. It means so much more when a woman knows you took the time.
3. Intimacy is key. Make it personal and so will she!

7 Most Important Questions to Ask Yourself When Preparing for Your Anniversary:

1. What did you do last year?

* This will set the pace for this year. You always have to move forward to something new, different. Don't fall into the trap of always trying to do something "better". This will inevitably lead to eventual disappointment, not to mention possible bankruptsy. Which brings us to...

2. How much can you afford to spend?

* It is especially important to be realistic and have limits. She knows how much money the two of you have, and if you (remember you is plural now) spend what you can't afford, she'll know. And she'll also know that you (plural) will be paying for it later. If that's the case, it's not worth it.

3. What type of woman is your wife (emotional, intellectual, traditional, etc.)?

* This is especially important when it comes to gift giving. The best gift says "I know you, I get you, and I love you". Most women like flowers. Most women think roses are beautiful. But if lilies are her favorite, bring her lilies.

4. What does your wife like to do, what is her "thing"? This has nothing to do with what she does for a living! Photography, cooking, dancing, eating, etc.

* Again, tell her "I know you, I get you, and I love you". What ever it is, if you can, do it with her, or give her the opportunity to do "it". Schedule a salsa class; go to a cooking class together, a photo shoot. Think outside the box. Individualizing your gift takes time yes, but it's worth it.

5. What is the one thing you appreciate most about your wife?

* Tell her. This can be a theme for you. Try to express your appreciation without words, if you can.

6. What one thing can you do well, on your own?

* Do it for her, to her or with her. Make yourself as much a part of a gift as possible.

7. How are you going to top it next year?

* Remember it is about progression. Remember to continue to know her, learn her.
